SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A composite film as described in PTL 1 has improved heat radiationproperty by laminating a plurality of graphite sheet layers. However,heat is not easily conducted by simply laminating the plurality ofgraphite sheet layers, because a layer and a space are present betweenthe graphite sheet layers, and therefore, the heat radiation property islow.

Moreover, bendability of the composite film is not described.

A heat conductive sheet according to the present disclosure includes aheat radiation sheet having a graphite sheet, a first protective filmprovided on one surface side of the graphite sheet, and a secondprotective film provided on another surface side of the graphite sheet.The heat radiation sheet includes a bent part that is bent, and a firstheat radiation part and a second heat radiation part coupled to eachother through the bent part and overlapping with each other in aperpendicular direction to a principal surface of the graphite sheet.Between the first heat radiation part and the second heat radiationpart, there is provided a first non-adhesive area in which the firstheat radiation part and the second heat radiation part are not adheredto each other.

The heat conductive sheet of the present disclosure has high bendabilitywith the above configuration, and because heat conducted to the firstheat radiation part is conducted to the second heat radiation partthrough the bent part, the heat conductive sheet can achieve high heatradiation property.

<About Heat Conductive Sheet> First Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a top view of a heat conductive sheet according to a firstexemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is across-sectional view of heat conductive sheet 100 in FIG. 1, cuttingalong a line 2-2.

Heat conductive sheet 100 includes heat radiation sheet 30 havinggraphite sheet 11, protective film 12 a provided on one surface side ofgraphite sheet 11, and protective film 12 b provided on another surfaceside opposite to the one surface side. Heat radiation sheet 30 includesheat radiation part 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c that are bent atbent part 10 a and overlap with each other. Each of bent part 10 a, heatradiation part 10 b, and heat radiation part 10 c has graphite sheet 11,protective film 12 a, and protective film 12 b. Protective film 12 a isbent inward by bent part 10 a, and protective film 12 b is bent outwardby bent part 10 a.

A shape of heat conductive sheet 100 is maintained by heat radiationpart 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c being adhered by adhesive layer15.

Heat radiation part 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c are coupledthrough bent part 10 a.

Heat conductive sheet 100 includes, in a view from above, adhesive layer16 overlapping adhesive layer 15, and adhesive layer 17 on the sameplane as adhesive layer 16. Heat conductive sheet 100 is pasted tosubstrate 20 by adhesive layer 16 and adhesive layer 17. With thisconfiguration, heat conductive sheet 100 can achieve high heat radiationproperty because heat is conducted through bent part 10 a, for example,from heat radiation part 10 b to heat radiation part 10 c. On the otherhand, a heat conductive sheet disclosed in PTL 1 has a configuration inwhich a plurality of graphite sheets are simply laminated and a bentpart is not provided, and accordingly, has low heat radiation property.

Here, the view from above refers to a view seen from a direction aboveheat radiation part 10 b and perpendicular to a principal surface ofheat radiation part 10 b. For example, in FIG. 2, the view from above isa view seen from a side of heat radiation part 10 b and from an oppositeside of heat radiation part 10 c.

Further, heat conductive sheet 100 has non-adhesive area 14 between heatradiation part 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c, where heat radiationpart 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c are not adhered to each other.Note that heat radiation part 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c are notadhered to each other refers to a configuration in which a space existsbetween heat radiation part 10 b and heat radiation part 10 c, or to aconfiguration in which heat radiation part 10 b and heat radiation part10 c are brought into contact with each other. Non-adhesive area 14 isprovided, in the view from above, between bent part 10 a and adhesivelayer 16.

With this configuration, heat conductive sheet 100 of the presentdisclosure can achieve high bendability without causing destruction ofheat conductive sheet 100 or peeling between each of the differentmaterials, even if heat conductive sheet 100 is bent at the same timewith substrate 20.

Heat conductive sheet 100 has an overlapping end part where an outerperipheral end part of heat radiation part 10 b and an outer peripheralend part of heat radiation part 10 c overlap with each other in the viewfrom above. This overlapping end part has overlapping end part 13 aconnected with bent part 10 a, overlapping end part 13 b connected withoverlapping end part 13 a, and bent part 10 c connected to overlappingend part 13 b and bent part 10 a respectively. In the view from above,overlapping end part 13 b overlaps with adhesive layer 15 and adhesivelayer 16. Further, a part of non-adhesive area 14 overlaps with, in theview from above, overlapping end part 13 a and overlapping end part 13 brespectively.

Still further, it is preferable that adhesive layer 17 has aconfiguration of being provided, in the view from above, between a partof non-adhesive area 14 and bent part 10 a. With this configuration,even if heat conductive sheet 100 is bent in a direction D, bent part 10a is pulled in response to reduce stress applied to each member of heatconductive sheet 100, and accordingly, high bendability can be achieved.

Moreover, an area of protective film 12 b is preferably smaller than anarea of protective film 12 a. In other words, by reducing the area ofprotective film 12 b provided on an inner side of the heat conductivesheet than protective film 12 a, a configuration is made in whichprotective film 12 a and protective film 12 b are aligned at an end partof heat conductive sheet 100 opposite to bent part 10 a.

Graphite sheet 11 and protective film 12 a are adhered to each otherusing, for example, a double-sided tape having adhesive material on bothsurfaces of a base material. Graphite sheet 11 and protective film 12 bare also adhered to each other using the similar double-sided tape.Regarding the double-sided tape, the base material is formed of, forexample, polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter, referred to as PET),and the adhesive material is formed of acrylic-based adhesive material.A thickness of the double-sided tape is, for example, 6 μm. In thiscase, a thickness of the base material is 2 μm, and a thickness of eachlayer of the adhesive material is 2 μm.

Material of protective film 12 a and protective film 12 b is preferablypolyimide. Polyimide has high bendability and high heat resistance ascompared to PET. A thickness of protective film 12 a and protective film12 b is, for example, 10 μm.

Graphite sheet 11 is formed of, for example, a pyrolyzed graphite sheet,and has a thickness of 25 μm. The pyrolyzed graphite sheet formed bythermally decomposing high polymers has anisotropy in a direction ofheat conduction, and a coefficient of heat conductivity in a planedirection is higher than a coefficient of heat conductivity in athickness direction. The coefficient of heat conductivity in the planedirection in graphite sheet 11 is 1600 W/mK.

<About Multilayered Heat Conductive Sheet>

By laminating a large number of heat conductive sheets 100, higher heatradiation property can be achieved. However, when a large number of heatconductive sheets 100 are laminated, stress applied at a time of bendingincreases, causing destruction or peeling between different materialsand accordingly, bendability is reduced.

With this configuration,multilayered heat conductive sheet 200 can achieve even higher heatradiation property than one heat conductive sheet 100. Note thatmultilayered heat conductive sheet 200 of the present disclosure isdescribed to have a configuration in which two heat conductive sheets100 are laminated, however, a number of sheets that heat conductivesheets 100 are laminated is not particularly limited.

Multilayered heat conductive sheet 200 has a configuration in which twobent parts 10 a overlap with each other in a view from above. Two heatconductive sheets 100 are adhered by adhesive layer 16 and adhesivelayer 17 on one of heat conductive sheets 100.

Here, the view from above refers to a view seen from a direction aboveheat radiation part 10 b and perpendicular to a principal surface ofheat radiation part 10 b.

Further, a part of non-adhesive area 18overlaps with overlapping end part 13 a and overlapping end part 13 crespectively, and is exposed at an end part of multilayered heatconductive sheet 200. Still further, non-adhesive area 18 and twonon-adhesive areas 14 overlap with each other.

With this configuration, multilayered heat conductive sheet 200 canachieve high heat radiation property and high bendability.

Third Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a multilayered heat conductive sheetaccording to a third exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Atop view of the multilayered heat conductive sheet is the same as inFIG. 1.

In other words, in theview from above, non-adhesive area 18 and two non-adhesive areas 14 arepositioned between two bent parts 10 a.

With this configuration, multilayered heat conductive sheet 300 canachieve high heat radiation property and high bendability.

<About Heat Conductive Sheet> Fourth Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a heat conductive sheet according toa fourth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Heat conductive sheet 400 has a configuration in which protective film12 b of heat conductive sheet 100 is not provided. Heat conductive sheet400 can also achieve high bendability.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a heat conductive sheet according toa fifth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Heat conductive sheet 500 has a configuration in which protective film12 a and protective film 12 b in heat conductive sheet 100 are notprovided.

Heat conductive sheet 500 can also achieve high bendability.

Sixth Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a heat conductive sheet according toa sixth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Heat conductive sheet 600 includes a heat radiation sheet formed bysandwiching and pasting first graphite sheet 11 a and second graphitesheet lib by protective film 12 b and protective film 12 a with apredetermined space provided between first graphite sheet 11 a andsecond graphite sheet lib. This heat radiation sheet is bent at a regionwhere the protective films between first graphite sheet 11 a and secondgraphite sheet lib are adhered to each other, such that first graphitesheet 11 a and second graphite sheet lib overlap with each other. Thisbent portion is referred to as bent part 10 a. The protective films areadhered to each other by adhesive layer 15 at a region on an oppositeside to bent part 10 a of first graphite sheet 11 a and second graphitesheet lib. As this adhesive layer 15, for example, a double-sided tapehaving acrylic-based adhesive material on both surfaces of a PET filmcan be used. This adhesive layer 15 is not provided on an entire surfaceof the protective films, and first non-adhesive area 14 where theprotective films are not adhered to each other is provided betweenadhesive layer 15 and bent part 10 a.

Heat conductive sheet 600 includes, in a view from above, adhesive layer16 overlapping adhesive layer 15, and adhesive layer 17 on the identicalplane with adhesive layer 16. For example, adhesive layer 16 is adheredto a heat generation component, and adhesive layer 17 is adhered to aheat radiation part. A configuration may be adopted in which the heatgeneration component and heat radiation part are provided on separatesubstrates or housings, and each of the substrates are bendable. In thiscase, when a sheet whose entire surface is laminated and adhered isbent, because a radius of bending differs between an inside and anoutside of the sheet, large stress is generated within the sheet topossibly cause destruction of the sheet.

On the other hand, by taking the configuration of the present exemplaryembodiment in which a region of first non-adhesive area 14 is bent, bentpart 10 a moves so as to alleviate the stress, and the heat conductivesheet having high bendability can be obtained.

Here, the view from above refers to a view seen from a direction abovesecond graphite sheet lib and perpendicular to a principal surface ofthe second graphite sheet. For example, in FIG. 8, when viewed fromsecond graphite sheet lib, a side opposite to first graphite sheet 11 ais the view from above.

Seventh Exemplary Embodiment

An end part of the first heat radiation part and an end part of thesecond heat radiation part are adhered to each other by a first adhesivelayer, and another end part of the first heat radiation part and anotherend part of the second heat radiation part are connected by connectingmember 21. As this connecting member 21, a connecting member having alarger elongation rate than the first heat radiation part and the secondheat radiation part is used. Here, the elongation rate refers to a ratein which an amount of elongation of a sheet having an equal shape whenpulled by a force less than or equal to a breaking limit are compared.As connecting member 21, for example, a sheet formed of polyethylene,urethane, silicone, and or the like can be used.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of heat conductive sheet 700 of FIG. 8in a state of being bent along bending shaft 22. The sheet is bent suchthat bending shaft 22 abuts against a portion of first non-adhesive area14. Because the protective films are not adhered to each other on a sideof connecting member 21, connecting member 21 is deformed as shown inFIG. 9 to reduce stress applied to the heat radiation part.

Eighth Exemplary Embodiment

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of a heat conductive sheet accordingto an eighth exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

In the heat conductive sheet of FIG. 8, first graphite sheet 11 a andsecond graphite sheet 11 b are respectively sandwiched and pasted withthe protective films, however, heat conductive sheet 800 of FIG. 10 doesnot use the protective films and has a configuration as follows. An endpart of first graphite sheet 11 a and an end part of second graphitesheet 11 b are adhered to each other by first adhesive layer 15.Further, another end part of first graphite sheet 11 a and another endpart of second graphite sheet 11 b are connected by connecting member21, and first non-adhesive area 14 is provided between first adhesivelayer 15 and connecting member 21. With this configuration, the heatconductive sheet having more excellent heat conductivity can beobtained.

Note that first adhesive layer 15 can be formed larger as in FIG. 10 aslong as first adhesive layer 15 does not reach a region of bending. Withthis configuration, the heat conductive sheet having more excellent heatconductivity can be obtained.
